I have been MIA but am happy to report that this morning I met my goal of 10 lbs for August. When I initially decided on 10 lbs I thought that it would be a piece of cake. The weight came off quickly when I was heavier but the closer I get to the 200 lb mark the slower it goes.

TOday is totally on plan. Boca burger with egg white omlette for breakfast. A great big salad for lunch + a chicken McNugget (my daughter's).

Full on cardio inthe morning coupled with weights in the evening. PLus it's Laundry day and i have to vacuum the 2nd floor of the house! I am a rock star today.

Funny thing....the days I don't exercise...it's almost like I'm an addict who hasn't gotten her fix. I feel mopey and depressed and go the entire day thinking something is missing and feeling generally icky. My body needs exercise to feel good...how strange is that? How marvelous!

Being my first time in a challenge, I have to ask a really odd question. The goal was how much to lose in the month. So exactly when does the month end? My weight as of the morning of the 31st? Or as of the morning of the 1st? I'm having one of those days where I could honestly argue the point either way and convince myself! While I could use every possible minute in the month to count I seriously doubt it's going to matter between Friday or Saturday morning!

I'm not going to weigh-in until the 31st. I am not even going to use the bathroom that the scale is in (my mother-in-laws) so that I won't be tempted to peek! I didn't eat that great last weekend..while at my mom's with 2 of my 4 kids, but I didn't go crazy either, so these few days before the end of the month are totally devoted to doing the best I can.
Lekhika...I feel the same way about exercise....I feel like I have not finished my day until I do something.

I'm still hanging there at 150 (a few tenths up, a few tenths down). I've eaten only lean meat and vegetables today. Maybe if I run and jump on the scale when it's not expecting me...

You and me....it's a date then for the 31st weigh in? That's my last August weigh in and I am working super hard to have a nice number then....hope the scale gods have mercy on my exercising butt and there's a decline in the numbers...Usually I don't hope for more than a pound a week but I am really hoping that there's more of a downward trend.

We may be going to India at the end of October so that sort of makes a change in the goal weight...I'd like to be closer to 100 by then so that there's a cushion because there's no scope to do anything other than yoga in India and that's not nearly enough calorie burning for the (likely) extra calories I'll be injesting.

I think I need to reassess my program and work to the new goal.

I am kind of worried about my body image problem. I mean, I see that the rest of me is getting sort of thin but....why does my everloving face still look fat?

..sigh....well, this morning I was back up 3 pounds, but hopefully its TTOM (which I seem to have like 3 weeks out of 4 anymore!).

I've been exercising pretty regularly and will weigh in on the 31st for the final total!

Good luck everyone!

Ok i have a scale question, do scales have a short shelf life do you think?! Mine are about 3-4 years old I guess and over the past week I have flucuated between 211 and 218!! Its driving me insane, each morning the weight is just flying up and up, and I have been exercising and my eating has been reasonable, certaintly not enough to gain so much!!
Its really depressing me I was just wondering if anyone else has had something similar with their scales or if it is simply me gaining at a rate of knots. Im still doing my final weigh on friday.

Yeah about the scale...I don't know about the shelf life, but I think something is wrong with mine too LOL. Gaaaaaah I HATE getting stuck! I know it's good I am not gaining, but geeez I want to see atleast one more pound gone before September...That would put me one pound shy of my goal. *huuuuuffffff puffff*

goodmorning ladies

I can't beleive it's wednesday already, the time really is flying! I took the scale out and lost 1lb (of the 3+), well at least it's something but had I been more on plan I beleive those 3 and then some would of been gone. All in all, it hasn't been a great month for me planwise and I am so eager for a fresh start. I promised myself by sep.1 to be fully on plan and do things to my liking....back to planned dinners 2 days in advance and my fish, etc. No more floundering for me. I plan on working hard during the fall months before all the holiday festivities and come Saturday I am not allowing myself any sidetracks.

Ladies, your doing great! Congrats to all of you on the weight loss and to those who may have not had a loss or a gain....hang in there! We have a few days left to our month and then we start a fresh month! I am already getting geared up for it and mentally going through my plan, etc. I am going to go to the market and get all of the ingredients I need and the house will be void of anything not on plan.

pigginpodgey, I use an analog scale and have for a very long time. I have been through quite a few of them. My dh has told me that they don't last that long and are not as accurate because the springs get worn, etc. When my previous one got old it was all over the place! Though my weight fluctuates quite a bit it was way off.......even on a daily basis or rather checking it several times. You may want to get a new one just to be sure. Keep on truckin girl.

Lekhika, regarding your previous post....yes my mom and I are extremely close. I am upset though, she came over yesterday (her day off) and we had such a nice time getting some sun and hanging out and then last night I got a call from my parents, she had a fall outside of her house and broke her hand! She's going to have to be out of work for a while.
I think you look fantastic girl! I was admiring your pic and those absolutely gorgeous colors (the blue top with lime green scarf) which really compliment your skin tone! nice! I don't see your face as fat, I see you as h aving lovely features with a beautiful face. As for the cardio, keep it rocking.....right on girl. Readingyour posts and how you talk about the cardio and how good it makes you feel etc. is really inspiring me to get off my slacker butt! lol I love that feeling too and just didn't feel the same or as good if I missed a day.....I feel more sluggish now and I can clearly see how much the exercise helps! ANyhow, your doing great! : )


Well ladies, not much else to report on my end. It has been extremely busy here. We have had people working in the driveway past couple of days and dh stuck around to oversee it and tell them where the cement goes. The weather has been incredibly beautiful! Wishing you all a super day, keep it going, a few more days left. I'll come in the morning and start our new September thread so we have a few days jumpstart and can start gearing up. Take care ladies

The August countdown is underway! I weighed 149.6 this morning. So close, so close. If I can lose just .2 more, I can round to 149 and meet my goal for the month. I've used a body fat scale for the last couple of years and I think it's reasonably accurate. We've got two in the house--the other one is a balance-type scale. They seem to stay consistently about a pound different, though I can't remember right now which one is heavier. I got the body fat scale after I got rid of my old mechanical scale, because that one was acting weird. Sometimes I'd weigh myself first thing on it, then weigh again after eating or drinking something and I'd be lighter! I think you have to check the calibration on all scales from time to time.
